DropboxPortable Syncs Files to Your Thumb Drive

9:15AM Adam Pash | Windows only: Free application DropboxPortable makes the popular file-syncing application thumb-drive friendly, so you can access your synced bucket from your thumb drive no matter what computer you’re using. It’s great that Dropbox allows you to access a synced bucket of files on your several computers so you know you’re always working with the latest and greatest, but if you’re using a computer where you can’t install Dropbox permanently, this portable version lets you enjoy the benefits without hassling with Dropbox’s web-based access, where the process of editing and syncing files is much more clumsy. The application isn’t perfect, and requires an attentive installation process, but if you can get it up and running, it’s a great option for getting more from Dropbox. Thanks Mike!

Start BitTorrent Downloads At Home From Any Computer With Dropbox

3:30AM Adam Pash | Blogger Guillermo Esteves loves his BitTorrent, so when he’s away from his home computer, he still wants to start up any download at a moment’s notice. His solution: Use file-syncing application Dropbox to sync torrents between computers. Assuming you’ve got Dropbox installed on your home computer and work computer, for example, you can download a torrent, save it to your Dropbox folder, and let Dropbox sync that new torrent to your home computer. Using the folder monitoring feature available in most popular BitTorrent applications (including uTorrent for Windows/Mac and Transmission for Mac/Linux), your BitTorrent app of choice can monitor your Dropbox folder for new torrent files and automatically open them when they appear. In practice, that translates to dead simple, instant remote BitTorrent downloads, which we like very much. You can also upload torrent files to Dropbox from the Dropbox web interface, so you could even do this from a computer where you can’t install Dropbox. This isn’t the only remote BitTorrent method out there, but it’s certainly a good (and easy to implement) one. Start BitTorrent downloads remotely with Dropbox [Guillermo Esteves] More »
